HOUSTON -- Brock Osweilers second poor road performance has some wondering if
the Houston Texans are having buyers remorse about their new quarterback.
Conor Donovan Jersey .But as the AFC
South-leading Texans prepare to host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night,
they insist theyre still confident their $72 million man is the one to lead the
team.Brock is working very hard. Hes very prepared, coach Bill OBrien said. I
think all of us, including (him), we all have to do a better job.Osweiler is in
his first season in Houston after the Texans lured him away from Denver with
that huge contract.Hes had an up and down season, leading Houston to three wins
at home, but struggling in lopsided losses at New England and Minnesota .He
failed to give specifics when asked about areas in which hes looking to improve
this week.The most important thing is we need to be more consistent because we
are a great football team, he said. We have a great offense. We just
consistently have to be that offense.For that to happen Osweiler will have to
get receivers DeAndre Hopkins and rookie Will Fuller involved early on Sunday.
Houstons offense stalled in Sundays 31-13 loss to Minnesota when Hopkins and
Fuller had no receptions by halftime.Both OBrien and Osweiler have talked at
length about the importance of getting Hopkins going after the Pro Bowler has
been held to less than 60 yards receiving in four games this year after only
having five such games all of last season.He and Osweiler connected a few times
in the second half last week, including on Houstons only touchdown.It starts
with me breaking the huddle and basically just saying to myself: `Is there a way
for me to get Hop the ball on this play? Because, like you saw last week, when
you throw him the football, good things happen, Osweiler said. Were well aware
of that and thatll definitely be a focus.Colts coach Chuck Pagano was very
complimentary of Hopkins and understands the challenges the Texans have in
getting him the ball since he faces the same obstacles with his receiver T.Y.
Hilton.Anytime you got a game-wrecker like him ... hes going to garner the
respect and attention of everybody that plays him, Pagano said of Hopkins.Theyre
doing a great job of moving him around and trying to get him loose and get him
some free access.Some things to know about the Colts-Texans game.RECORD CHASE:
Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri sure doesnt look like the NFLs oldest player. The
four-time Super Bowl champ has made 38 consecutive field goals and if he extends
that streak to match his age (43), Vinatieri will break the NFL record Mike
Vanderjagt (42) set from 2002-04. Vinatieri made all five of his attempts in
last weeks win, the sixth time hes done that in a regular-season game. Hes also
made nine straight from 50 yards or more. The only other kicker with a longer
streak than Vinatieris is Gary Anderson, who made 40 in a row in 1997 and
1998.BANGED UP SECONDARY: The Texans played most of Sundays game without three
of four starters in their secondary. Left cornerback Kareem Jackson was inactive
with a hamstring injury and right cornerback Johnathan Joseph suffered a
concussion on Sunday before Houston lost strong safety Quintin Demps to a leg
injury. OBrien said Demps and Jackson are day to day, but Josephs status is less
certain because he remains in the concussion protocol.SACK ATTACK: The Colts
offensive line should be relieved J.J. Watt wont be on the field in Week 6, but
dont expect them to rest easy. Andrew Luck has been sacked 11 times in the past
two games and has already gone down a league-high 20 times this season. With
another strong defense on tap, even without Watt, the Colts know they must play
much better. At this rate, Luck would be sacked 64 times this season, an
untenable pace. Pagano expects to see a steady progression starting this
weekend.Everybody wants to protect the quarterback, Pagano said. Everybody wants
to keep their quarterback upright. Were no different than anybody else. Were
working extremely hard to do that.CLOWNEY CONTRIBUTING: In his third season,
Houstons Jadeveon Clowney is finally starting to show the skills that made him
the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 draft. Clowney, who has shifted from
linebacker to defensive end this season, had a career-high four tackles for
losses last week and leads the NFL with eight tackles for losses. Hes thrilled
to be healthy and contributing after failing to live up to expectations in his
first two injury-filled seasons.---AP Sports Writer Mike Marot contributed to

McLaren-Hondas progress in the past year, but says his main interest lies in
what can be achieved in 2017 and how new regulations will change the feel of the
cars.Alonsos contract with McLaren is due to expire at the end of 2017 and he
has previously said his decision on whether to renew will be based on whether
next years cars are more interesting to drive. Speaking on Thursday at
Spa-Francorchamps, he said he is hoping the new regulations for 2017 will offer
similar thrills to those he experienced in previous years of his career.Next
year I finish my contract with McLaren -- the one that I have now -- so I have
to make a decision if I can continue in Formula One or not. In the last couple
of years -- in this turbo engine era -- I think the cars are a little bit
different to drive, but I dont say if its better or worse.Everyone will have his
opinion, but I have been lucky enough to drive 2003 cars, 2004 and 2005 ... even
until 2009 the cars were, in my opinion, more extreme and more Formula One cars.
Now when I see GP2 cars running three seconds away in FP1, it feels a bit sad.
The cars are heavy, no grip, we save fuel, we save tyres, we save everything
from lap one. Its a little bit against the instinct of the driver and next year
is a big question mark.The regs and everything will change a little bit and if
the cars are fun to drive and exciting to drive, I will probably stay longer and
drive more years in Formula One, but if the cars arre still giving me the
feeling I had in the last couple of years I will stop.
Kevin Molino Orlando City SC Jersey. But it
is not related to if you are competitive, you are either enjoying driving the
car or not enjoying it and right now, in my opinion, the cars are not enjoyable.
But thats probably because I drove older cars, and if you arrive now to Formula
One these cars are probably very fast and very fun to drive, but not for me
anymore.McLaren-Honda has made progress this year and arrives at Spa this
weekend with a major engine upgrade.If you look at the team 12 months ago we
were in a very different situation. We were starting last here using, I think,
our ninth engine of the year here in Spa and we were lapped two times here last
year, so definitely we have made a step of minutes, not even seconds, in total
race time so we are in a much better position. We are enjoying it and the
progress is looking optimistic, and for next year as well.We look forward to
this weekend, we have some updates on the car, but we know that Spa and Monza
will be some tricky races for us in terms of layout and characteristics of the
circuits, but definitely we are enjoying our time now, seeing the progress, and
we are hungry for more.But asked whether he thought McLaren should still be
working on improving its 2016 car, he simply said: Well, I think we want to be
world champions. So this year it is not anymore possible.
